FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and light activities, including walking and light gym sessions. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
Are the New Balance 740 Trainers waterproof?
No, due to their breathable mesh construction, these trainers are not waterproof. They offer minimal protection against rain or wet conditions. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to keep your feet dry and protect the materials.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers typically follow standard UK adult sizing. We recommend purchasing your usual shoe size. If you're unsure, measure your foot and compare it to a New Balance size chart, ensuring there's about a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 740 Trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section of this guide.
What type of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can comfortably wear any athletic or casual socks with these trainers. The breathable mesh upper allows for good airflow, so light to medium-weight socks are generally suitable for everyday comfort.
How can I keep my trainers looking new for longer?
Regular cleaning, proper drying, and storing them away from direct sunlight are key. Using a protective spray designed for textile footwear can also help repel water and stains, maintaining their appearance over time.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern; looser lacing may provide more comfort, especially across the instep. Consider wearing thinner socks or checking your sock type.
Foot odor develops after wearing.
Allow trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to air them separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers to absorb moisture and odors overnight.
Stains on the mesh upper are hard to remove.
For stubborn stains, create a paste with baking soda and a small amount of water. Apply it gently to the stain with a soft brush, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then gently brush off and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always spot test in an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common cause is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or baking soda inside the shoe, then replace the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to a loose part in the sole, which may require professional repair.
